Today’s Short Manga Review
The day is ending and my ACTs are all done. I actually didn’t read that much manga when I finished, but it’s fine.
I don’t know why I suddenly wanted to come back to the forums, I posted on tumblr for a bit in my time gone to try and makes gifs for anime I felt was under-appreciated and have a space to discuss anime, but got burnt out fast since I was doin it daily and the reach is poor.
I picked up art again though. Gonna start postin on twitter when i have enough courage.
As for the manga review, I finished volume 1 of Dance in the Vampire Bund, got further into Kuroyuri apt, and started Saekano.
Oh, where do I even begin with Vampire Bund. I’m in love with Nozomu’s style, it’s so sick and gothic and cool. The portion of the first volume where Akira walks through the streets with all the partying vampires, it fascinated me to see a lot of the crowd were designed with piercings and a lot of western rave, emo, and punk style of the time in mind (2005 to be exact). It makes sense, I think most of the vampires are sposed to be from europe and the americas.
Mina is an adorable heroine, but beyond her cuteness and elegance is a highly intelligent and calculating character. As I read on, I realized that nowadays this series would be considered lame, it’s very of its time. It kind of envokes the feeling I get feom Shadow the Hedgehog, and ir did not surprise me that there were plenty of AMVs to stereotypically emo music of the 2010s and lady gaga.
I was born a little late to that stuff, but I desire a return of AMVs. I made one almost two years ago for CubexCursedxCurious. I couldn’t watch any of the Vamp Bund ones since I didn’t want to be spoiled on the anime.
All that aside, it’s so far a 8/10 at least. I’m waiting to get more volumes before I make more judgement on the story.
As for Kuroyuri Apartment, well.
It’s nice, very cute and clean style. I could tell immediately it was released around the same time as Himouto Umaru (2016-2018 was definitely a good time for slice of life)
However, outside of being cute with an interesting enough premise— it’s kind of bad. I was expecting a cute daddy-daughter dynamic story, but kind of got an almost-harem-somehow-not-ecchi comedy.
It’s fine, but not good by any means. Yuzuki Gao seems to make a lot of mediocre work, but has a nice art style.
Last, Saekano. Which, I’m actually only a couple of pages into. I was really interested in Eriri which is why I grabbed it when I saw it at the bookstore. She reminds me a lot of Kanzaki H. Aria? Twintailed tsundere, half english and half japanese.
All I could gather in the little I read was a bit generic, but I’m sure once I get further I might like it. The girls are very cute, Utaha is gorgeous and Megumi looks quite cute. I’m excited to see if the whole game plot is realized.
For today, that’s all I have. Tomorrow will be an anime day because I’m watchin a lot right now, so perhaps a review of whatever I watch. Goodnight folks -w-

So much noise! People banging and sawing on the roof all day.· 1 reply
Then one of them comes to me and says I have to give them money before they go away.
Seems like some sort of protection scam to me.
(Having some roof work done. )

To think we’re nearly close to being done half of the year already is crazy. I’ll be 30 next February. Surreal to me to say the least. 😅· 0 replies

Gallus was born a commoner. His wife, Queen Hostesia, is the direct descendant of Eustocles of the Zubisthene Council, the king who cut ties with Deorvinci one hundred years ago. Gallus was drawn to the story of Eustocles long before he ever met Hostesia, fascinated by the idea of a ruler who chose mystical insight over faith-based dogma, and it was this admiration that shaped much of who he became.· 0 replies
Their meeting was not romantic in any conventional sense. Twenty-three years ago, Queen Hostesia was patrolling the border between Rocsarte and Theolis, checking for bandit activity and Bithos Cult movements, when a group of nimble and deadly assassins ambushed her patrol, killing all of her guards. The assassins were dressed as Theolis mages a deliberate framing. Gallus, passing through as a stranger, immediately intercepted and killed them all.
When he examined one of the bodies afterward, he found the order: issued by the first king, directing the assassins to disguise themselves as Theolis mages and kill the queen. Hostesia explained to him that the first king had been dethroned two years prior, found guilty of corruption and exiled and had since taken his son with him into service as a Deorvinci official. That exile had apparently done nothing to blunt his ambitions.
Gallus and Hostesia bonded over the aftermath. He liked to paint. She liked the way he saw things.
There is a moment that defined his character clearly. In a tavern, a visiting male scholar from another kingdom was loudly criticizing Deorvinci and other institutions, declaring that God was not real. Gallus listened. Then he asked the scholar, calmly and without hostility, whether he was truly happy or simply spending his life trying to prove something to a world that wasn't listening. He told him that if he was going to criticize institutions, he ought to make sure he was actually living like a real human being, because a man who rejects God while being just as joyless and rigid as the institutions he opposes has not actually freed himself of anything.
Then Gallus asked if he was married. When the scholar said no, Gallus told him he knew a place with many decent women and suggested he find himself several girlfriends. Hostesia, surprised, mentioned that the women in the place Gallus was referring to wanted men so badly the scholar might be kidnapped. Gallus laughed and said a man that serious needed to be drowned in women.
Eight years after meeting Hostesia, Gallus became the new King of Rocsarte. Together they had two children: Sordanor, the eldest princess, and Phileo.
In the years that followed, Sordanor, Phileo, the royal scholar Simion, and a commoner village girl named Bethel became close friends. What none of them knew was that three spies, sent by Deorvinci Royal Prince Adax, had been searching the region for records of the mysterious figure known as B. A young Simion, unaware of who they were, unwittingly identified them, and the spies reported their findings to Prince Adax, who was traveling with the exiled first king.
When the first king recognized the second king's children among the group, he began quietly plotting to destroy the village entirely — eliminating any possible record and everyone connected to it. Bethel and her grandfather died in the burning. Phileo, Sordanor, and Simion were not present when it happened.
Prince Adax, enraged by what had been done, murdered the first king immediately after.
